Demolition and redevelopment - character and integrity considerations
Demolition and redevelopment of existing houses requires careful attention to siting, massing, architectural treatment, materials, and landscape maintenance to avoid detrimentally affecting the quality and character of the residential environment and street scene.
Demolition and redevelopment of existing houses presents the greatest challenge in terms of retaining the character and integrity of the established street scene. Without great care and attention to detail in terms of the siting of buildings, their massing and architectural treatment, the use of materials and the maintenance of existing landscape, there is a danger that redevelopment schemes will detrimentally affect the quality and character of the residential environment.
